ok after being unplugged and screen off for 5 or more minutes open spare parts hit battery history, see if running is close to 100%. Screen on should be close to nothing and running should be within 15% of screen on. if running is very high hit other usage at the top choose partial wake usage and see which program has almost a full bar or if it's a few with a big bar then those are part of the problem.
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
Yeah I'm pretty sure you're right. ha.

Ohh and...you're welcome ;)
[EVO 4G General] azfxstb:
Not an issue on any sense rom have done, ALL the install methods (if you have to ask just dont) This wake lock issue has happen to me on a BARE CM install with account synced in setup and after..it will NOT happen until you use the PHONE AS A PHONE... Im thinking that should really point people debugging to a place to start. Sorry im to busy to run logs. Like I said I love the ROM just since attention has been shifted from the EVO fixes dont happen like they used to, I deal with it.
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
Ight, I'll try all these things in a few hours. I just unplugged it since i was letting it charge, so I need to wait a bit.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
right on the button it was a typo and those were my suggestions.
[EVO 4G General] luisrcastillo:
I has the same issue on RC2 but it went away after a full wipe and flashing 6.1 final and it has never happened again
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Have you tried stopping all syncs then clearing gmail, contacts and calendar data? It seems to me this actually started coinciding when Google added their official google reader app. I wouldn't be surprised if something in the account syncing there is causing it.
[EVO 4G General] azfxstb:
Yup tried it.. Using your logic how do you explain RC1 not having this issue. Also I have found once I make or receive a call I bounce airplane mode and don't have the wake lock issue. I even have the issue without gapps installed
[EVO 4G General] kevinbear:
Alright, since I read someone say that nobody so far has tried running the tools that Cyanogen told us to use to try to root out the source of our problems. I posted this a few days ago. I tried doing what he said, but I am out of my comfort zone with this and not quite sure what I'm doing or looking for. Could use some help.
[EVO 4G General] knives of ice:
any new features or anything cool added in the recent nightlies? i haven't updated mine in about 10 days or so
[EVO 4G General] david279:
None.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Is there an updated GAPPS for the new Market or do we have to wait on a hotpatch?
[EVO 4G General] david279:
It just updates on its own.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
Yeah your apps should show individual updates after you flash
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
When you say new market, do you mean this?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Yes, that.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
It will happen automatically like that new similar tab
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
actually I'm not too sure anymore. I was able to get my girls epic to update just by clearing the market cache, I can't get mine to update. has anyone successfully gotten theirs to update?
[EVO 4G General] JT man:
I try doing same thing but didn't work
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
New ui changes in market look sweet..n Ppl fight nice;)...I just read the last couple pages ..*projectile vomits*
[EVO 4G General] twiz0r:
I thought I read somewhere that everyone should have it within two weeks, so maybe it's not fully released
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
its already on my girlfriends epic, I just had to clear the cache to get it working. I hope its not something with cm :(
[EVO 4G General] twiz0r:
Maybe the epic has it possibly and not the evo? My buddy at work, who is too scared to root his evo, can't get the new market yet either
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Cm6.1 is using stock Evo build.prop strings so whenever stock ones start getting it we should too.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
good to hear. last time the market fix took about a month to fix in cm before all apps started showing up
[EVO 4G General] timothydoanpham:
this market update though suck balls. the new ui changes makes it look nice but now we only have 15 minutes to try the app before we can no longer refund it.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
google did that for the devs, not just to do it. I agree with the change. we are lucky we get a test period at all. the iphone gets no trial period, nor do games on the xbox or ps3 that are downloaded, why the heck should android users be allowed a whole 24hrs, this made absolutely no sense.
[EVO 4G General] twiz0r:
I completely agree. I don't think that it's too hard to research the app a little bit before you buy it.
[EVO 4G General] dkotoric:
Well I completely disagree like I purched the splashmoney app because I used it on palmos ans iphone and it completely sucks for android so thats why a trial period is needed and I think this will hur developers cause allot of apps I don't like in the first 15min but after some usage they grow on me so I will be ruturning allot more apps bc of this

new apk on page 6 but i get FC's. I found it in Nexus One's General Section. Maybe someone can make this work on our Evo

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868767&page=6
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
you say this now but I can almost bet my right arm your personal app purchase rate isn't going to decrease. in MOST cases apps don't grow on people its the other way around, you're hyped in the beginning then after awhile you get tired of a certain game. in your personal case the market might work against you (though I doubt it) but in the long run, this will help devs.
[EVO 4G General] twiz0r:
I just encountered an issue where when I add someone to my contacts they are not showing up in my list, but when I search for that contact it comes up. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
this worked for me, I now have new market. I uninstalled old market with titanium backup, reboot to recovery, flashed zip, and I now have updated market.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
check the display options. contacts, menu, display options. play around with those settings
[EVO 4G General] twiz0r:
I have looked and haven't been able to find anything :(
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Did you wipe cache and dalvik? I followed your directions and i still get FC's. Also, did you download the one with the test keys?
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Guy at work has epic stock no root..he is on 2.1 with no market update yet
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I did not wipe cache, only those 3 things, remove with tb, reboot to recovery (amon), flash zip, reboot and it worked perfectly. I didn't do anything special. maybe its my titanium backup settings, your guess is as good as mine.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
my girl has an epic but I put the leaked 2.2 official rom on her phone. to get it to update I went into applications and cleared the market cache.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Which zip file worked for you? Did you use the one that says testkey.zip or something like that?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
mine says vending 2.2.6.signed.zip
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
i used this one.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Market.....

U have to either sign it urself or download the testkey version
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I'm not too sure who you are referring too but I'm on stock cm6.1 and used the version I posted above. I downloaded that zip just like that so it must have been signed already. I didn't do any of that though you are correct it must be signed which means it was already done
[EVO 4G General] brule71:
Just to be clear on the new market zip... uninstall the old one (vendor.apk) then flash the new one?

I tried with the zip posted on the other forum and the market crashes every time so wanted to make sure im not missing a step
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
the weird thing is I got this zip from that thread and all I did was exactly what I posted on the previous page.
[EVO 4G General] brule71:
The irritating part is it teases my by showing the new market and as apps load up... BAM it FC's... why is the market such a tease.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Its simple ..if ur on a cyanogen build u can use testkeys ..use an app like signapk..but yes the user already posted one...go to recovery ..backup..then flash it

http://db.tt/F9ZSGU5
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Lol happens to me too. i reflashed gapps and will try this again.

*UPDATE* It now works! What i did was flash latest gapps, once rebooted uninstalled via titanium, reboot into recovery and flashed the zip P-Slim posted.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
I cleared the cache..and data...of the market..restored my apps via tit backup..synced perfect but I also did a full wipe before due to my android system problems
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
That one worked for me! Wiped all of the data of the old Market, uninstalled via Titanium Backup, and then flashed the new Market through recovery. Glorious eye candy! I wish they'd just give us SORTING now!
[EVO 4G General] david279:
This method works. But I get a fc If I try to uninstall a app in the installed apps list view.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Hmmm i uninstalled an app in in the my apps view and no FC for me...
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Ok strange it works now.
[EVO 4G General] bbv203:
This sounds like the same results I got from running those commands, but like Kevin says, not quite sure what I am looking for.....Also got he boot screen loop after the IGSEGV (Segmentation Fault)....adb reboot, bunch of FC's, fixed permissions again and things eem to be going back to normal. Now I've never really had a problem with battery life

Android system shows at times nearly 100% under Partial Wake Lock in Spare Parts and I get 100% Running as well.

htop typically reveals system_server as a likely culprit. Attempted to use strace to investigate, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for or how to read the results. The strace resulted in a SIGSEGV (Segmentation Fault) that killed strace (I'm assuming that) and put my Evo back into the CM6 Boot Animation screen where it got stuck for 10 minutes before I sent an "adb reboot".

Would love to figure out this rare and camera-shy issue.
[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
Hopefully the dark froyo theme will have this soon enough.
[EVO 4G General] slacker76:
battery

So when i go to settings, about phone, battery use, what should be eating most of my battery with my phone at idle? Android system is always at 50% or more. Is that normal?
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
I think you're talking bout me? And I never said specifically that. I just asked snap for his graphix.. but if it happens then yay. Jaha
[EVO 4G General] azfxstb:
Nope not normal you have the wake lock issue

Normally you see cell standby or something other than android system. Cycle airplane mode or reboot

New Vending

Did you guys update your market apk?

I did mine and this thing is sexy :) - Works on EVO 6.1 - Shows all Apps on my phone - Flash tru recovery - no need for nandroid...

Thanks to N1 Devs :)
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
Yeah, its alright. The home screen kinda wigs me out though. The banner is huge..
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Mine looks ok. Must be cuz I change my screen density to 182
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
Yeah, however the way the app information screens are is pretty nice. They shoulda gone with the same idea on that first screen, where the banner scrolls with the selections.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
So I have to flash the market? It won't update itself? Damn it lol

Do I have to delete the old one first?
[EVO 4G General] HooliganAMA:
Agree. Most of it looks nice but the home sucks. Banner takes up half the screen.
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
Noo, it will update itself eventually. Sometime within the next 2 weeks they say.

This is just if you want it now. Unless we find out sometime later that CM6.1 and the new market don't get along, but I doubt that'll happen.

Also, just like to throw in my $0.02. I think 24 hours is way longer than needed for a trial period, but 15 minutes is ridiculously short for some apps. Like if you wanted to TRY titanium backup, you wouldn't be able to. I think something like 2 hours would be a decent compromise.

[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
Has anyone been working on new kernels, I looked at bcblend but it seemed buggy.
[EVO 4G General] ISSMER:
Yes...............
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
Like what? I know snap is being worked on but no betas, and by the time people get a good .35 kernel then the .36 will be out. Id rather not downgrade kernels when there has been quite a bit of improvements.
[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
I know that Toast is working on 4G right now, so we probably won't see .36 out for a while. Although someone said that the Evo is now using the CM unified kernel now or something.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
I agree..landscape makes it extra obnoxious ..
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
How did you settle on 182?

I've only tried 220, 200 and 160.

I like it at 200 but I'm curious if there's a specific reason for 182 or if it's the result of trial and error?
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
Yeah its using a unified kernel on the nexus and evolution. So wouldn't that mean that we could get .36 kernel pretty soon?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I could be wrong but I think the kernal has to be created and merged to the branch. meaning if any .35 changes happen then we will get them but we don't have a .36 kernal yet for supersonic
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
you're correct. the .36 kernel is still being worked on. p-slim, is it in the nexus one nightly builds? i haven't played with my n1 in quite a long time.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
it is in the nightlys now for n1 and it works well
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Huh, .36 hasn't even hit AOSP... Nexus S isn't even getting it yet, it's still on .35. Interesting...
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:

I use 186 because that's the lowest value before the options when you press menu become cut off

That's why Titanium Backup has a free and paid version. You can see if you like it, then buy a license if you want the extra features.

I'm totally fine with the 15 min limit.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
agreed this is a good thing, if you piss of the app dev's then you weaken the product. and like others have said, some apps offer a free version for trial before you buy

so i dont' know what's going on but all my text message that i send and recieve is showing the wrong time. ie i got a text from my gf around 1:44 pm but my phone shows the time 7:44 am. what can i do to fix it?
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
When in doubt try wiping your caches and reboot
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
*shrug* Never seen anything like that.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
So obviously I chose not to do a simple search to learn the details about dpi settings...fwiw:

The default setting is 160, HTC sets it at 240. I thought it was not coincidence that both of these numbers divide 480 evenly. So I decided to split the difference and try 192 as it goes into 480 2.5 times.

At 200 the 3g and radio signal strength icons looked fuzzy, on 192 they are almost as sharp as they are at 240.

I tried a few others but 192 wins the prize :D
[EVO 4G General] OgremustCrush:
I ran at 200dpi for quite a while, but I noticed it made my launcher crashy. After dropping down to 240dpi, it was a lot more stable. Makes me sad as it looked so much better.

I run mine at 190 or 200 and all my apps scale fine. I noticed that the newer versions of the lcd density app would cause my apps to look funny. I use the 3.0 version and it works great.
[EVO 4G General] ISSMER:
Are you using:

"LCDDensity for Root"

"LCD Density Changer"

Some of my apps, ADW launcher dock, don't auto size correctly. I would love for this to work.

No clue. Flashing now...let's see! :D
[EVO 4G General] lowspeed:
Seems like a new kernel and snappier.
[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
its the same kernel
[EVO 4G General] xak944:
Nightly 198 is kernel 2.6.35.9.

Don't see anything new, and the Android System battery drain is still present. :( Really really sucks that no devs will acknowledge the problem, even though it's reproduceable on a fresh install with full data wipe of 6.1 final...
[EVO 4G General] radadev:
One, don't talk about devs that way or we'll stop releasing anything to people like you. You don't understand all the work they put into things like this. And all for free. They don't have to develop, they don't have to share their work with the masses, but they're kind enough to do just that, so don't talk about devs like they're ignorant or inconsiderate.

Two, it has been acknowledged, it has also been fixed. Wipe dalvik two or three times as well as cache. It would also be a good idea to factory reset more than once too. It has been seen that a single wipe doesn't always truly wipe everything on a partition. Try multiwiping.
[EVO 4G General] xak944:
I'm sorry about our misunderstanding. I do appreciate the work that the devs do, (I was once a software developer myself, and no longer do it because I was not cut out for it -- I have mad respect for those who do!) and I have shown my support by sending donations to the developers of ROMs that I use. Note that I did not insult any devs, I was merely expressing my frustration at the situation ("it sucks that the issue is not acknowledged," not "devs suck").

Cyanogen himself has commented on one of my posts and told me to do some very specific debugging, which I had in fact already done (htop & strace system_server process) and it did not reveal anything useful (I'll be happy to discuss in-depth my troubleshooting if you'd like, but this post isn't the place for it). I was frustrated when nobody else replied with any more info about how to troubleshoot the issue when the initial instructions didn't result in anything useful.

This is great news! I was unaware that is has been acknowledged, let alone fixed. Do you have a link to the commit or Issue #? What was the underlying problem?

There are still two open issues (Status: New) on the tracker which may be related to the issue. Should these be closed then?

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2570

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2189

I have done 3x dalvik and 3x cache wipes and the problem persists on RC2, nightly 184, nightly 191, 6.1 Final, nightly 193, nightly 198. It also is present after a full factory reset and fresh install of 6.1 Final. Please let me know how I can use my time to help troubleshoot...
[EVO 4G General] radadev:
Indeed misunderstandings abound. Your problems is also apparently more in depth than the ones I've seen fixed. Most of them have come from incomplete full wipes. The full wipe doesn't always clean the data and system partitions as completely as is expected and that had caused lingering wakelock issues for a number of users. I'd be happy to take a look with you if you want to fill me in on your debug efforts until now. You can fill me in on pm so we'll get out of the way of the good people following this post.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
thanks for this. i suspected bad wipes ever since we came across this issue in testing snap kernels.
[EVO 4G General] thanatos_evo:
I haven't suffered the high android system %age per se, but have seen some pretty bad battery life myself. While the phone was fine on standby, it would empty the battery if I made a short phone call and play around a bit with the screens.

Over the weekend, I wiped everything including the SD card. I used calkulin's full format, and also amon RA's format to clean out cache, system and dalvik multiple times. I've reinstalled CM 197, and haven't installed set cpu or the battery saver utilities. After 1 battery recharge cycle, I'm seeing great battery life. I've used the phone for about 2 hours this morning (settings, adding widgets, install a few apps, configure launcher pro) and have seen only a 9% drop. Bear in mind that I have an extended battery, but this is still really good performance.

tl;dr - Wipe *everything*. Reinstall apps 1 by 1. Try what happens without setcpu and juicedefender/super power/whatever
[EVO 4G General] xak944:
tl;dr - I have wiped everything, and the problem persists with no apps installed except GApps (even with no Google account logged in, so nothing syncing) on a fresh install of 6.1 Final.
[EVO 4G General] lowspeed:
Seems like 198 has a GPS problem. I used cardiotrainer and the thing didn't work well. reverted back and Viola... works again.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
How long do you let the phone sleep before you check battery stats? Maybe you should let the phone sit overnight before checking the battery stats.
[EVO 4G General] xak944:
What exactly are you trying to accomplish by instructing me to do this? Do you think I'm being fraudulent with my bug reports?

I use my device pretty much all day every day so I'm very familiar with how much the system is draining the battery, and the Battery Usage screen acts to back up that data. The countless times I've checked and saw the big, ugly, glaring "Android System" staring me in the face at the top of the list, it doesn't matter if it's been 10 minutes or 10 hours, it's still at the top.

As requested, here's a screenshot I uploaded after 4 hours:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2570#c4

If you can tell me how a screenshot showing 8, 10, or more hours would help, I'll be happy to get it for you tonight.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
With all due respect, I don't think its bad wipes. I wiped everything sometimes 4-5 times...fresh install, install with no apps...still the wake lock pops up... I can't figure it out
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
it's what i suspect. i still haven't figured it out yet. i've heard of reports that multiple wipes fixed it, or that calkulin's format zip fixed it.. i'm still not entirely sure *why* it happens. :(

i never meant to imply that would be a final fix though.
